October 1974 was the big bang for wine and you need to understand the consequences. Wine creates memories, brings us together - ‘enough, tell me something I don’t know’. Well, let’s return to October 1974 when the Trade Practices Act came into force. -

I enjoy passing on what I know about wine. Some reports are new, or the importance of an old observation has just occurred to me, and then there is the big one I repeat and repeat all through the year. This wheel began slowly turning in the 1980s, picked up speed so each year is repeated more frequently. The prices of wines are made up which is all you really need to know about wine. The lower the price the more likely the quality relates to price. - https://mailchi.mp/glugwines/saturday-8-february-2025

The currency market rolls on as our dollar gets weaker and weaker. I recall a decade or so ago when the Aussie dollar was worth more than the U.S. dollar. Surely we will not drop to half ? Still, that would help move the excess stock of Australian wine. At this moment enjoy what we offer as the quality to price ratio is far better than customers in other countries are drinking. Quality Barossa Valley for $10 - show me another! Lastly, now is not the time to be buying imported wines.

Many times Multi Vintage or M.V. wines taste better than vintage wines. The only exception to this rule is when a vintage is so balanced it approaches perfection. All other vintages can be improved with blending to smooth over rough spots and even out ‘taste holes’. The best recent Barossa vintage was 2001 and it needs no help. Vintage 2020 needs help and this is the thinking behind today's M.V. bargains. - https://mailchi.mp/glugwines/wednesday-29-january-2025

V25 is not too far away in the Barossa Valley going by these photos of a local Shiraz vineyard.

The Barossa is already seeing plenty of trucks delivering Sparkling base fruit from the Riverland and Sunraysia areas.

Two high quality specials today, both premium reds. Cheaper than I would like to sell them at, yet the show must roll on. Plenty of times cash is more important than accumulating great wines. While good wines always sell good retailing means now and again they need a price shove out the door. Grab a case. - https://mailchi.mp/glugwines/friday-24-january-2025
